The ‘to do’ lists timeline are starting to run thin as the moving date quickly approaches. Following the budgeting, making arrangements, and getting organized is a lot. And it is all included in preparing for the big moving day. It is common to have details overlooked or forgotten in the middle of the chaos. During your move, we at Prodigy Moving & Storage would like to remind you about details to help you avoid some of that last-minute stress.
Safely Pack Furniture Hardware
Including the lock and keys for the gate, curtain rods, TV wall mounts, hardware for the full-length mirror and so on, make sure the odds and ins are packed. Make certain to go from room to room and get all the hardware that may have been overlooked excluding the permanent fixtures that will belong to the new occupants. To help stay organized, label plastic bags with the various hardware. So, you do not have go through the hassle of mailing it back that is a common occurrence, make sure to leave the garage door opener behind.
Keep Personal Documents Safe when Moving
From doctors, therapists, veterinarians, dentists, schools, and other professionals possessing personal records, you will either need to have your files transferred to the new professionals or retrieve physical files. Make sure to gather the kids’ school records, and other pertinent information for you, family, and pets as well as the medical records for procedures or surgeries and prescriptions. Make sure to notify IRS, DMV, post office or other government entities and other pertinent parties of the new address. Even as you travel until they can be securely stored and handed out to the appropriate offices, any physical copies given should be kept with you during the move.
Cancel Memberships Before You Move
To ensure you save your cash, take care of the membership cancellations 6 weeks before your move. After the long-distance move is frustrating, paying for the neighborhood gym or kickboxing class months. In order to help it is done before you leave, most places request a written 30-day notice for cancelling and doing it 6 weeks in advance. To make certain the correct address is in their system, update the new address on your automated monthly subscriptions, online shopping, bills, and other services.
Plan for Moving Day
The spiraling of tasks seems to be never-ending because moves are often rushed towards the very end. Because of the distractions that come with moving, quite a few people tend to neglect the travel plans of getting from the old house to the new one. Many people forget to pack a “first night” bag or enough luggage for the traveling as well as booking the accommodations, depending on the travel method. Before moving day, gather personal documents, IDs, passports, and other official documents with you and the arrangements for your pets and auto-transports.
